I still don’t get the man-on-the-street interview responses by some of the citizens in the state of Washington about the detrimental effect of building a NASCAR track in Kitsap County.
Do they envision droves of redneck-SOUTHERNERS from the backwoods of Tennessee, the Carolina’s, Georgia and Alabama will invade their state? Or, worse yet, the incomprehensible Yankee redneck?
I know this country boy ain’t gonna trek 1700 miles to Seattle to watch the race, drink beer and piss on their lawns.
Why don’t they understand that the NASCAR fans of Washington are ALREADY living in their community? That’s right, it’s the people living right there amongst them!
They are clearly not thinking this thing through.
How glorious will it be to have the Walmart all to yourselves that one weekend a year?
The plump chick’s walking around in fuzzy house slippers and jammy bottoms won’t be there to make your face cringe in disgust. She’ll be at the race with her old man.
Those burr-headed, loud-mouth boys with all the tattoo’s? Yep, they’ll be at the race too.
The 8 item ‘Speedy Aisle’ will be unencumbered with the illogical white trash that glare at you and snarl , “Ten 12-packs of beer count as one item. They’re all the same thing!”
Heck, you could declare race weekend as your own official ‘Liberal Enlightenment’ weekend.
Think of the camaraderie you’ll feel knowing every person walking the streets, each driver on the road is of the same mindset as you. Sweet! It will be like the ‘White Trash Rapture’ had come and delivered you from the inconvenience of their nasty presence.
I hate to be the one to lay this on ya baby…but, I know for a fact that Washington and its neighboring states have many a NASCAR fan.
One of the neat reports that Google Analytics has is the ‘Geo Map Overlay’. It’s a visual representation of where your websites visitors are from geographically.
Note all the dots on my report for OneBadWheel. Plenty of dots in the upper North West.
Plus, I reckon they’re not all that backwards of folk either. Here’s a brief look at the technological savvy of my visiting NASCAR fans.
- They are huge supporters of your Big Company Microsoft. 83% of my NASCAR visitors use Internet Explorer (with over half of them making the upgrade to IE7 this year.)
- 91% are running Windows XP. So, they obviously have the resources to have newer computers. 1% of the visitors are already using a spankin’ new computer running Vista.
- 89% of my NASCAR visitors have a 17″ or larger monitor (with 27% of that having at least 19″ or larger). Not a 15″ monochrome as you’d expect in the corner of their trailer.
- 85% of my NASCAR visitors use DSL/Cable internet connections.
That doesn’t sound much like a group of uneducated, cousin-kissing, low morals group of people.
I’d even bet that most of them have the majority of their teeth and drive nice pickups cars as well.”
